WOLF DAYS IN PENNSYLVANIA. 67 



are about a mile and a half from Mt. Jewett, on the 

 Kinzua Creek. When they were about half way to 

 the jMeadows they heard a rifle shot up the valley about 

 a mile away. The boys took off their packs to rest a 

 few minutes, and one of them remarked, "Let's keep 

 watch for a few minutes in the direction of the rifle 

 shot, as we may see something coming this way." 

 Just then one said: "What is that coming?" The 

 animal came within about eight rods, jumped on an 

 old log and stopped and looked back toward the point 

 where the rifle report was heard. One of the lads 

 raised his rifle and fired and the game disappeared. 

 The boys went out to see what had become of the ani- 

 mal they had shot at. When they got to the place, 

 there lay some kind of animal, but what it was they 

 did not know, so they shouldered their knapsacks and 

 returned to the hotel, dragging the animal, as they 

 wanted to find out what it was. On reaching the hotel 

 one of the boys called on Mr. Brewer to come out and 

 tell them what kind of an animal they had killed. As 

 soon as Mr. Brewer saw the animal he exclaimed : 

 "Well, well, boys ; you have got a prize. You have 

 got a genuine wolf, only he has got but ttiree feet. The 

 left hind foot was missing. But that wolf has got 

 more dead sheep to hi^s credit than any wolf ever had 

 before." Mr. Brewer then told the boys what to do to 

 get the bounty on the wolf, which at that time was $25. 

 Now, I am sure this was the last grey or timber wolf 

 caught or killed anywhere in this section of Pennsylva- 

 nia, for all the Potter County or Blair County wolf
